Hi, i use dnsmasq for a simple LAN to provide dhcp and dns, to start with it did not work as i did not open the correct ports in the firewall. UDP 67 and 68, as mentioned in the FAQ. I also have the trusted DNS service 53/tcp and 53/udp enabled i not sure if this is necaccery. http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/FAQ "This new DHCP server is well and good, but it doesn't work for me. What's the problem?
